Toyota recalls 98,000 RAV4s

Toyota Australia has announced a recall of approximately 98,000 RAV4s due to a potential issue with the seat belts.

The models were built between August 2005 and November 2012 and the issue involves both outboard seat belts of the second row seats.

“There is a possibility that, in the event of a high-speed frontal collision, the seat belt webbing could contact a portion of the metal seat cushion frame, become cut and separate,” they said in a statement.

“If this occurs, the seat belt may not properly restrain the occupant, which could increase the risk of injury to the occupant.”

All affected vehicle owners will be notified by mail.
